Let’s Say No To The Mosquito
The Franklin County Board of Health operates a comprehensive mosquito control program to improve the quality of life and reduce risk of disease from mosquitoes. In addition to public education, FCBH traps mosquitoes, tests for diseases, applies larvicides, and sprays to control vector and nuisance mosquito populations.

Mosquito spraying for August 21, 2008 includes Reynoldsburg and the village of New Albany (weather permitting). |
